Doom's OhSnap
by JustDoom
Doom's OhSnap makes a lead snap with a sound when the mob it leads is pulled far enough, and the sound can be tuned on the server.
What it does
When a leashed mob is pulled beyond the length a lead can reach, the lead breaks and plays a snapping sound at the point where it gave way. The mod changes that sound, so the break can be heard from a distance. Because the effect is driven by the lead itself, a mob that wanders off with a lead attached is no longer carried indefinitely.
Doom's OhSnap runs on the server, and the server owner controls the sound through the configuration: the volume, the pitch and the sound effect played. The configuration offers only those two numeric options, volume and pitch, plus the choice of effect. Players who join a server running the mod do not need to install anything. The author also notes that some functionality might work on the client alone, but the Modrinth page does not confirm this.
Doom's OhSnap is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Files exist for 1.20.1 and 1.21.4, with a Fabric and Forge file of 1.20.1-1.0.0 dated 2025-02-10 and a NeoForge file of 1.21.4-1.0.1 dated 2025-02-01. Its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Lead snap sound
A lead that breaks from being stretched too far makes a snapping sound at the break point.
Configurable volume and pitch
The server owner can set the volume and pitch of the snap sound in the configuration.
Selectable sound effect
The configuration also selects which sound effect plays when a lead snaps.
Server-side operation
The sound logic runs on the server, so players join without installing the mod.

Use cases
Audible lead breaks on servers

Who it’s for: Server owners who want a clear sound when a lead breaks, and players who keep mobs on leads in survival or creative worlds.
How it compares
Unbreakable Leads is server-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for Fabric 1.20 – 26.2, so it changes the lead itself rather than the sound. LeashVillagers is client and server on Fabric, under the MIT License, and only for 1.21.1, so it covers a different behavior for villagers. Both are named for their differing scope; Doom's OhSnap is server-side only and open source for 1.20.1 and 1.21.4.

What the author says
Wait what?! The cow I was leading for 10,000 blocks had its lead broken?!?!?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Why is there no sound for when a lead breaks??? There really should be one. Currently there are only two options, pitch, and volume. Which controll the pitch and volume of the effect.
